I finished and ahead of my goal time of 28 hours. I had an awesome time going through the turn around (47.9 miles) in 9 hours 50 minutes, but my intestinal issues that I had been having all day finally caught up to me, along with some nasty blisters. But hey, I still beat my goal time. Now on to the Ozark Trail 100 in November.

Nice, easy 12 miles. Planned on going only 10, but since I was a little over 11 by the time I got back to my starting point, I decided to go ahead and finish up with 12. Saw a total of 5 deer out...read more

Nice, easy 12 miles. Planned on going only 10, but since I was a little over 11 by the time I got back to my starting point, I decided to go ahead and finish up with 12. Saw a total of 5 deer out in the heat.

Clouds and breeze the fist half, though humid the first couple of miles from the brief rain we had early this morning, sunny the second half. Tired off and on and knee bothering me off and on, but overall a good run. Saw a deer, a young buzzard up close, a squirrel, and a yellow canary (plus other birds).

After I got past the "hard to get out the door syndrome," my run was not bad. I went with Billy a nice easy pace and we were lucky to have the clouds off and on plus a breeze. My knee s...read more

After I got past the "hard to get out the door syndrome," my run was not bad. I went with Billy a nice easy pace and we were lucky to have the clouds off and on plus a breeze. My knee still bothered me a little, but much better.

I did the Luner Prep run with Gary, Justin, Ericka, Molly, Carl, another lady (sorry, I don't know how to spell her name) and Billy, my husband. Everyone did one 14 to 16 miles, then Gary, Ca...read more

I did the Luner Prep run with Gary, Justin, Ericka, Molly, Carl, another lady (sorry, I don't know how to spell her name) and Billy, my husband. Everyone did one 14 to 16 miles, then Gary, Carl and myself did another 14 miles. I started off feeling good the first 13 to 14 miles except my stomach kept cramping. I must have ate something that did not sit well. And then the old knees started hurting off and on. Oh well, it was great training for Lean Horse 100 in Aug.

Felt good to ok. My husband and two nephews went about 1.5 miles with me, with the youngest one riding a bike. He had a flat tire, so the three of them walked it back while I continued. Saw two...read more

Felt good to ok. My husband and two nephews went about 1.5 miles with me, with the youngest one riding a bike. He had a flat tire, so the three of them walked it back while I continued. Saw two baby deers and their mommy.

Felt pretty good except I got hot the last couple of miles. Proud of my husband. He ran a 6.5 mile loop with the group and then he went out for another 6.5 mile loop on his own while I ran another...read more

Not bad, not bad at all! My husband ran with me and my nephew rode his bike. We went a nice, easy pace, got rained on off and on. We headed back due to the thunder and lightening or I would have gone further. I am proud of my nephew again. He has never rode that long before and never on trails.

I am able to access the trail from my home, via a gravel road, in 3/4 of a mile. I took my nephew with me for about 3 and 1/4 miles. I am very proud of him. He has never ran on trails and for tha... read more

Was feeling good then tired. Put a 5 mile tempo run into it - ouch. It has been a little while since I did that. Saw a buck and then a doe and her fawn. The fawn was leaping thru the tall grass - appear/disappear/appear/disappear - so cute!

Beautiful day with a good group of people. Thanks everyone for an enjoyable run and sharing thoughts and info. on training for and running 100's. I have eaten two meals already since our run and feeling the need of a third.
